[Art_beyond_sight_learning_tools] Tactile globe - thinking out loud

[Pip Curling]

Hi Lisa

I have had success with artists acrylic paint in tubes in creating  
larger areas of texture. It stays in shape when you squeeze it out.  
You can texture it with a sharp pointed pencil or palette knife and  
it dries well in 24 hours.
